Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

Chapter 37: AND One's conspiracy, the streetball giant hit

The manager of AND1 came with a confident face and left with a cold sweat on his face, holding Zuo Li's contract conditions in his hand, feeling like a hot potato.

Ford thinks Zuo Li is really crazy. A young guy who hasn't played a few games, and is still an Asian, dares to open such conditions and is not ready to play streetball. Do you understand the gold content of Harlem? , Do you think you are the great gods who have been famous for a long time, do you think you are the kind of person who can enter the NBA from the streets of Alston, and you have to go to high school, is it necessary for you to go to high school in Harlem?

If it were someone else, he would have left Zuo Li behind long ago. What kind of thing dares to open such a condition, thinking that AND1 is just eating!

But this matter was personally supervised by their boss, so he decided to make a routine, report Zuo Li's conditions, and let their boss see for himself how much this Asian boy can't recognize himself!

"Hum, don't think that you are invincible if you win Tyrone by luck, boy, you are still very young." Ford no longer had any nostalgia, and drove directly to the headquarters. He couldn't bear it for a moment. Know this kid's wolf ambitions!

And in Locke Park, until the sound of the start of the Ford car, the two Tom and Jerry brothers closed their mouths. When Zuo Li and Ford were discussing the terms, they were always in shock, especially when Zuo Li and Ford were talking about the conditions. Jerry almost swallowed the basketball in his hand when he offered $120,000 a year.

"Boss, you bull, I don't even dare to think about such a condition." Jerry walked up and gave Zuo Li a thumbs up.

What is the concept of 120,000 US dollars? In 2003, the per capita disposable income of the United States was 28,805 US dollars, and the per capita income was 35,000 US dollars, and New York, as the largest city in the world and the economic center of the United States, its per capita income is naturally higher. Yes, but it's not too high. The per capita income is about $40,000.

But these numbers have nothing to do with Harlem, oh, they do. Harlem, as the biggest drag-and-drop bottle, has single-handedly pulled down the per capita income of the entire New York City, and it has always made New York feel more grounded. presence of air.

Although Jerry doesn't know these numbers, he is well aware of the current situation in Harlem, so let alone $120,000 a year, Jerry thinks he will fight to the death, and if he can earn $50,000 a year, he will wake up laughing. .

This is the current situation of street players. Ordinary street players will get the contract that Ford gave Zuo Li before, ranging from $30,000 to $50,000 a year. Although it is far from being rich, at least it can Getting these guys from the street out of poverty, plus the fact that you can get a lot of money from playing the tour for a year, from this point of view, AND1 is quite conscientious.

This is also the biggest reason why street players from all over the world have signed up with AND1. The ideal is only second, and a better life is the most important.

Of course, this is also the biggest reason why Zuo Li has never been in the streetball world. No matter in terms of influence or salary conditions, streetball can't be compared with the NBA, it's not an order of magnitude at all.

"But boss, if you really want to sign, isn't this condition... a bit exaggerated." Although Tom was also shocked, he still retained a trace of reason. Although he thought Zuo Li could drive this condition is really cool, but this thing Can it really be done? If AND1 does not sign, it will be miserable.

"Don't worry, if this wave is successful, we can go out together." Zuo Li patted Tom on the shoulder.

Tom's worries are normal. After all, in their opinion, the price is really high, but Zuo Li is different. After going through the era of big explosions in later generations, the hundreds of thousands per year is almost the same as free.

Moreover, even now, the first-level signing stars of AND1, their contracts are much larger than this, not to mention the stars in the NBA, and the streetball world, the signing gold of Tyrone's group is also generally in 250,000 or more, Zuoli's price is already very conscientious.

As for whether AND1 will give up the contract, Zuo Li is not worried, his strength is the guarantee of self-confidence, besides, if he is the boss of AND1, an Asian who has the opportunity to open the Asian market and has never seen it in the streetball world, or A man who has beaten multiple streetball players in a row, even the former Harlem overlord, is worth the risk.

Of course, the process will not be so easy, and they are naturally unwilling to do things like giving money away for free, so the safest way is to find people and Zuo Li for a streetball showdown.

Aside from Marbury and superstars like Garnett, I only look at the streetball world. As the No. 2 figure in New York, Tyrone has already failed, and that candidate...it's self-evident!

At this point, the furious Ford had already driven back to the AND1 headquarters. As soon as he entered the door, he madly complained about Zuo Li to the boss, saying that Zuo Li was an egomaniac who could not see himself clearly.

"Boss, listen to me, this guy is crazy, absolutely crazy, he asked us to give him 120,000 a year, and he said that he should go to high school, and he will play in the NBA instead of streetball, OMG! He thought he Is it James, this little emperor is many times stronger than his 'King'!"

"My suggestion is to ignore him and let him eat his ass!"

"Oh? He really said that, show me his requirements." And1's boss in charge of signing is Sethberg, and he asked Ford to sign. Originally, he just thought that there was a new person who could be added to New York. At that time, the tour can use the 'streetball world's first Asian' as a gimmick to increase some attention, but after hearing Ford say this, Setsberg became interested. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Picking up the piece of paper on which Zuo Li's request was written, after only reading it once, Setsberg saw that it was full, full of two big characters: Ambition!

This coincides with the original intention of AND1.

Obviously, Zuo Li is not satisfied with the status quo, and his goal is obviously not just streetball.

"Interesting." Setsberg ignored the angry Ford and began to think about the pros and cons of signing Zuo Li.

After two minutes, he picked up the phone and called another agent: "What is Alstom doing recently, is his schedule tight?"

Obviously, Zuo Li guessed Setsberg's idea correctly. Since Zuo Li has ambitions, he also thinks that this 14-year-old guy has potential, but he is not willing to pay such a price. The best way is to do another one. Field duel.

This is a conspiracy. If Zuo Li is cowardly or loses, it will also allow them to see Zuo Li's true strength. If he wins, then this condition is not unacceptable.

And the only candidate is the former streetball king, Ralph Alston!

"It doesn't matter, they have already decided to miss the playoffs, the Raptors are looking for a trade, we are looking for a next home, what's wrong."

Now that the NBA has entered the final sprint stage, the 2002-2003 season is about to enter the playoffs, but all this has nothing to do with Alston. Although he has performed well this season, the Raptors have only won 19 wins so far. Pure experience baby, as a substitute Alston is still very idle, the only problem is that his home is far away in Canada.

But that's not a problem, because a week later, the Raptors will head to New York for their final game of the season.

There is no doubt that a big event in the streetball world is coming!
